2016 mpi trail kit , broken turbo mount.

[Joe ltx-le]

While I was installing the header on my sled I noticed the small turbo mount was broken at the bolt.

I'm sure there was someone a while ago on ty with the same problem.
It looks like I need a new mount.

Has anyone found a fic to this problem, like stronger material. Or a better way to line up the turbo with the header?
I'm blaming it on the alignment between the header and mid pipe. Best Geusse.

I had my mount crack in a few places with poor design and sharp corners on the machining putting stress into the corners of the machining. I pulled it apart and had it TIG welded and fillets added in a few spots to remove some of the stress. Alignment can cause issues and may add to the problem.

Nice , that's what I thought when I saw the mount.
Do you have any pics of your bracket beefed up?

Sorry I dont have any pics.. I just had it fixed and tossed it on before a TY Ride last year.

Alright. Mpi is going to replace the bracket for me. I'll do the alignment this time instead of the dealer and give it a try. I know to check it now.
